The Democrats are organizing over
the State in spirit of business, aud
everything is hoped from their calm,
deliberate action on all matters per
tanning to the success of the party.
There is settled belief that the
State will be carried for the Democ-
racy, from the fact that the people
consider it absolutely necessary to
their best interests. They do not
want a repetition of Malone and
Riddleberger, and will say as much.
SO far as nominations have been
made for the Legislature, good men
are named. If tho State needed a
stirring up by means of Republi-
can experience for n term, it has had
it, and will not likely DO treated to
the Same dose again. !.

THE NEW HUMOROUS BOOK,
SAMANTHA At sARAro&A.''
BY JOsilh Allen's wife

One of the MOST prominent person.
ages of the literary world just now is
Miss Marietta Holley, popularity
known as Samantha Allen, or Josiah
Aliens wife. She became fayorite
very early in her literary career, and
each new issue from her pen has
added to her fame, until, for her
latest work, Samantha at Saratoga"
Messrs: HubbaEf Brothers paid her
princely sum, and the book is dc.
cidedly hit. J. will doubtless out
sell all her previous issues, as it un.
questlonably omshincs them all in
the fascinating vein of humor in
which Miss Hobby is so happy and
so rich. n
Preparing forltlis work, Miss Hol-
ley went to Saratoga and spent an
entire season, with eyes and ears
open, and with brhin and pencil Wig
orously at work. She went in her
famous assumed role of Josiah AL
lens wife, her imaginary Josiah ut
her side, with his characteristic blum
ders, fa,te pas. and quick, boylike
enthusiasm. AS Samantha Allen.
Miss Holley is observant, unsophis-
ticated, outspoken, and sound to the
core on every question of propriety.
Such couple in the whirl of Sara
toga would certainly develop many
remarkable situations and utter many
funny comments. 1t is here the hu.
NOR of the book arises. Plain, back.

that each side becomes ludicrous to

While Grant, Garfield and HAYES

In the South, it would have been n
courtesy disagreeable from it's osten-
tation. 1t is to be regretted that
this feeling existed, and an inquiry
into it's causes would be painful.

PROHIBITORY AMENDMENT

Whatever division of opinion may
exist as to the third party" tendency
of the Maryland State Temperance AL
lance, its most intelligent leaders seem
to us to be taking just the right course
in the direction OF securing Constitu-
tiona prohibition. While we are unal-
terably opposed to ''third party" and
believe that mems temperance views
should not lie brought into antagonism
with their political opinions, we still
believe that public sentiment
can Ge created IN behalf OF Constltu-
tional prohibition, without involving
politics in the discussion. We believe
a. Mr.. Higgins, the president of the
State Temperance Alliance, says, all
friends OF good government can and
should ante to secure it. In this con-
naCtion we think it desirable that all
information possible should be afforded
the public, as to the proposed amend
ment, and outline the situation by stat
ing that the constitution can be amend
ed in three ways, namely:
Ist. The adoption of the proposed
provision by not less than three-flfths

Nil DESPERANDUM.

We beg our fair correspondent whose
contribution to last weeks WIG lndl
Gated her pronounced opinion upon
the subject of woman suffrage, not to
despair, but to take fresh courage from
the action of the legislature of New
York, in which bill permitting women
to vote at municipal elections has already
passed the Senate. The situation in
that state on this subject seems to be
about this. Speaker Hustled, ex-Speaker
Irwin and other influential members of
the Assembly are warm advocates OF
women's suffrage, and the bill stands
good chance of passage IT it reaches
Gov. Hill the greatest interest will be
felt as 10 what he will do with it. The
Governor is not only bachelor OF some
forty-seven years standing, but, as is
well known at his home in Elmlra, en-
tertains positive dislike for female
society in other words, he is what is
called a woman-hater.
But Gov. Hill is not like men gen.
orally. The great mass of men are not
only, not woman haters but positively
woman-lovers. Unwilling as every man
may be to acknowledge the fact, he is
to a large extent under the influence
and domination of at least one woman.
That is why we hope to see women as
a sex remain refined and virtuous, SO
the influence they exert over men may
be for good alone. If she IS to use
the ballot and as a necessary corollory
to its exercise, use her own Judgment
in voting, it is not fair to presume that
every wife will think exactly as her hus-
band does upon either municipal or
general politics. The result would be
divisions in the family, with the chances
Of the stronger mind and will ruling.
We are of those who believe that in
these contests of opinion, women would
not strengthen but would rather weaken
their influence over men The general
dislike to long haired men and short
haired women is an evidence that what
is known as strong mindedness does
not challenge respect.
